In this article we will be discussing a very common question: vitamin j and p. It’s quite a sensitive & complex subject, as such we will do our best at providing a clear and concise article to clear any doubts you may have.
Types Of Flavonoids And Food Sources
Flavonoids, also known as bioflavonoids, are a family of polyphenol plant compounds with six subclasses. There are currently over 6,000 known flavonoids When first extracted from an orange by scientists in 1930, they were thought to be a new type of vitamin and, therefore, named vitamin P. This name is no longer used, as flavonoids are not vitamins They’re also responsible for the color of many deep-colored fruits and vegetables, such as berries, cherries, and tomatoes The most abundant source of flavonoids in the diet, flavonols include kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, and fisetin. These compounds are found in olive oil, berries, onions, kale, grapes, tomatoes, red wine, and teas The most abundant source of flavonoids in the diet, flavonols include kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, and fisetin. They exist in parsley, thyme, mint, celery, and chamomile These are also widely present in the food supply.
They exist in parsley, thyme, mint, celery, and chamomile Flavanols and flavan-3-ols. Flavanols are also present in cocoa, apples, grapes, and red wines Examples include hesperitin, naringenin, and eriodictyol Examples include hesperitin, naringenin, and eriodictyol Most red, blue, or purple fruits and vegetables get their color from anthocyanidins.
Compounds like cyanidin, delphinidin, and peonidin are present in cranberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, and red wine Different types of flavonoids are abundant in fruits, vegetables, red wine, cocoa, and teas.
Flavonoids And Vitamin P
At the time, scientists thought it was a new class of vitamin and named it vitamin P. Later, it became clear that it wasn’t actually a vitamin.
There are about 6,000 different types of flavonoids. Plants use these compounds for their own growth.

Origin Of This Study
The original motivation for this study came from the recent proof of the existence of invalid/improbable/interfering metabolic panaceas (IMPS) (1) as over-studied natural products that have an implausible plethora of reported biological activities, making them panaceas—in theory.
At the same time IMPS are very commonly found in plant-derived food products, implying that IMPS play potential roles in human nutrition. Following the premise that unrecognized life-essential biological functions of molecules may potentially blur their experimentally observable in vivo and in vitro effects, we sought to unravel the link between flavonoids and Vitamin P (VitP). Interestingly, yet not surprisingly, flavonoids comprise the by far largest group in the top-38 known IMPS (1).
